A variable is a letter representing a number (ex. 2a+8h=26 ..... a=5 & h=2 )

"Solving'' an inequality means finding all of its solutions. A "solution'' of an inequality is a number which when substituted for the variable makes the inequality a true statement.

Here is an example: Consider the inequality <span />

When we substitute 8 for x, the inequality becomes 8-2 > 5. Thus, x=8 is a solution of the inequality

2n-4 < 3n                                        
+4
2n+4-4<3n+4
2n<3n+4

<span> </span>


-3n
2n-3n<4
-n<4
/-1
n>-4

X will represent unknown
2x-4<3x
treat the < sign as a = sign
2x-4=3x
subtract 2x form both sides
-4=x
put the < sign back
-4<x
-4 is less than than x or
x is greater than -4

PLEASE HELP LOOK AT THE PICTURE
hammer [34]

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

-8(-3 + x) = -56

Distribute the -8 into the (-3 + x).

24 - 8x = -56

Subtract 24 from both sides.

-8x = -80

Divide both sides by -8.

x = 10.

Proof:

-8(-3 + x) = -56

Substitute variable.

-8(-3 + 10) = -56

Add inside parenthesis.

-8(7) = -56

Multiply.

-56 = -56

Answer:

1)  f=−8/7 2) z=−3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

1)-f+8=-8f

−f+8=−8f

Step 1: Add 8f to both sides.

−f+8+8f=−8f+8f

7f+8=0

Step 2: Subtract 8 from both sides.

7f+8−8=0−8

7f=−8

Step 3: Divide both sides by 7.

7f/7=−8/7

f=-8/7

2) 6z-5=-z-8

6z−5=−z−8

Step 1: Add z to both sides.

6z−5+z=−z−8+z

7z−5=−8

Step 2: Add 5 to both sides.

7z−5+5=−8+5

7z=−3

Step 3: Divide both sides by 7.

7z/7=−3/7
